The 50 Biggest Songs in Texas for 2012 — Where Did Your Favorite Land?
What a year it was for music in Texas. Denton based Eli Young Band's "Even if it Breaks Your Heart," a Will Hoge penned song, was nominated for a Grammy. JB and the Moonshine Band scored a Rolling Stone Magazine Top 5 Country album with "Beer for Breakfast." It was a breakout year for bands like The Damn Quails and even Kyle Park -- who, even though he's enjoyed a long career touring the scene and playing to sold out crowds, was yet to have a No.1 or even a Top 10 radio single. In 2012 he did both.
Today the Texas Music Chart released their Top 50 singles of the year. Check it out and see where your favorites songs stack up.
